Outline Audiobook in a Card
by
Rachel Cusk’s Outline, shortlisted for both the Goldsmiths Prize and the Folio Prize and longlisted for the IMPAC Prize, is now available as an Audiobook in a Card - the perfect way to share a landmark work of contemporary fiction.
About the book: The first in Rachel Cusk’s critically-acclaimed trilogy, Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her student in storytelling exercises. She meets other writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her seatmate from the place. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves, their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great loss.
Cusk’s acclaimed novel is a stand-out in contemporary literary fiction, making it a strong choice for readers and audiobook lovers drawn to unique and powerful voices.
Narrated by acclaimed actor Kristin Scott Thomas, this full-length audiobook (6 hours and 23 mins) brings to life Cusk’s distinctive style.
